Watering is an important stage in the full development and growth of plants. Manually wetting the soil in areas that do not receive enough water in a natural way provides the most favorable conditions for plant germination. You can wet the soil manually – using a spray can or hose – or you can save the gardener’s time significantly with an automatic irrigation system. You will learn about Watering Can for Plant in the RunSun article.
After familiarizing yourself with the main types of irrigation, you can easily choose the most suitable irrigation method for your garden, vegetable garden, or greenhouse. The most popular types of soil irrigation fall into four different points.
- Surface irrigation.
- Drip irrigation ;
- Sprinkling.
- Subsoil (in-soil) irrigation.
Let’s take a closer look at the nature of this type of irrigation and what are the benefits of using them.
Surface Irrigation
The essence of this type of irrigation is the absorption of water through the soil that supplies it. It can be done by flooding, along the furrow, and with the help of a soaker. Flooding – The water is distributed in continuous layers over the entire surface of the site and gradually penetrates into the soil…
Surface irrigation along the furrows involves the creation of primitive streams or capillaries and the subsequent supply of water to them. This option is the easiest to implement and therefore does not require much effort and is ideal for those who care about small areas.
Watering with a bubbler – A special nozzle used in conjunction with an automatic irrigation system that is particularly economical in terms of water usage. This wetting method provides water to the soil surface to effectively irrigate the roots of trees and shrubs. The bubbler also stands out for its versatility, as it can be easily attached to most static sprinklers…
Drip Irrigation
Its essence lies in the use of pipes running through the ground or above ground that use special drip tubes to supply a measured portion of water directly to the root zone of the plant. This method of irrigation allows a minimal water consumption (possibly 2.4-8 l / h) since it allows the plant to consume the received water completely. With the help of drip irrigation, not only water but also fertilizer and electricity can be saved significantly. This method maintains optimal soil moisture, promotes active plant growth, and helps to accelerate crop maturation…
Sprinkling
Irrigation is one of the most popular ways to irrigate the land in our time. It is carried out with the help of special sprinklers to ensure that water is spread over the surface in the form of artificial rain. At the same time, the water is distributed evenly and economically, creating a favorable microclimate for the growth of plants in the treated area. Sprinklers that provide water jets are of three types: static, rotary, and pulsating…
Pulse sprinklers work thanks to the reaction of the nozzle jets, watering the ground in small portions at low flow rates. They provide particularly “soft” and gentle plant watering and are therefore ideal for irrigating medium and large areas where flowers, fruits and berries, vegetables, and other similar crops are grown.
Static sprinklers are an excellent choice for watering small to medium-sized beds and lawns with lots of tight spaces. These units are capable of creating rain streams of various shapes (square, rectangular, round, etc.), so watering is done only where it is really needed, without overusing water…
Rotary sprinkler heads provide irrigation with a jet of water that slowly rotates in a circle of a certain radius. By changing the special nozzles attached to the sprinklers, you can easily adjust the radius of the jet, the height of the water flow, and the water level. Rotary sprinklers are ideal for medium to large open areas for watering flower beds, lawns, etc.
Sprinkler irrigation allows you to fully automate irrigation with preset water usage and time intervals, which is its main advantage. Thanks to this, areas with plants receive the exact amount of water needed, not just one or more drops…
Underground (in-soil) Irrigation
Underground irrigation is implemented by supplying water directly to the plant roots with the help of special humidifiers. The pipes with irrigation devices are installed at a shallow depth under the soil layer. Such a system is very convenient because it does not interfere with various work on the site with vegetation and does not change the structure of the soil surface. However, it has not been widely popular due to its high cost and the complexity of installation. As you can see, watering in a garden plot, vegetable garden or greenhouse is a fairly simple matter, although it requires a separate method.
